London / Holland Park Pt 2

November 04, 2013 by Jonathan Chow in London

Oh hey there.

While roaming around Holland Park, we found Kyoto Garden, a zen garden complete with Koi fish and water falls.

Animals here can get pretty nosy.

Peacocks...   they're basically turkeys dressed in drag. As I've often seen in gardens, these guys were just roaming about where ever they pleased.

The weather and surroundings offered a great opportunity for some folks to do a photo shoot.

Even Michelle got in on the action. #selfie

After leaving the park, we started heading towards a nearby museum. On the way, we spotted a fewer rare cars including a Spec V.

And a real Exige S, though the wing and front splitter don't match. Owner likely added the newer wing to an older model; looks good!

Astons are almost a daily sighting here, not that I think I'll ever get tired of their looks.

London / Holland Park Pt 1

November 04, 2013 by Jonathan Chow in London

Once again we find ourselves in west London, this time heading towards Holland Park. I normally don't like the 1 series (1 M Coupe being an exception, of course) since I'm not big on the styling, but in this dark grey, I gotta admit it looks pretty good.

Our first American store! Unfortunately, it didn't have much and whatever it did have was either too overpriced or available in other stores. The best place to buy American food is still Chinese grocery stores.

Great cafes and bakeries everywhere you go.

Like Michelle's new haircut? She loves it!

Some nice cars over here, like this RS5.

And some really, really nice cars. Black Bentleys in autumn…

The wheels have seen better days though.  All those leaves must be hiding some nasty curbs, er, I mean "kerbs".

The park had a pretty fancy entrance.

Did I mention I miss nature? Because I really miss nature.

I will definitely be coming back here again.
